ME1
Second PT of Shepard Infiltrator (will get level 60). Just started, not much progress. Favorite Merc armor (only the light version, could not find the medium one), my favorite for Shepard no matter the class. AR as BP with this character. Will change some outcomes.
Played after ME3 and ME2 and time period, had that great and warm feeling during PT which always have. Nice to have it still, great game.
ME2
Continuation of Engineer -PT
Collector Vessel: took Zaeed and Mordin to burn everything there. Zaeed had only rank 3 inferno - was enough (plus CBlast helped). Actually was glad to take Zaeed to hear him talking, even if in that case his phrases were not so different from other teammembers'. But Mordin was interesting, interesting in terms of his interests which are usual: more samples, more scans, data (took Mordin there not once, including with Zaeed btw, and do not remember such scientific phrases).
Got SG training - favorite Katana as usual. Used several times during the mission. --
Finished one non-combat n7 mission (money-money). --
Illium: talked to Liara to get money. --
Miranda LM: Garrus (usual part of the mission). Nothing so interesting but the thing this mission is one of my favorite.
After yelled at girls so they could remain best friends. --
Bought and found upgrades: the usual during two mission + bought tech damage - no money for other things. --
Decided to get the second least favorite (annoying) teammember and went to the geth invaded planet. Also one of my favorite missions with great music. Double-OL team, my PC had OL rank 3.
At some point it was just stupid to use three OLs even if mine was of rank 3 unlike Garrus and Miri with rank 4 area OL. Fast mission was even faster. -- After got level 20, no BP, rank 4 of everything but cryo (will be next) and hacking (do not need that). Area OL and Attack Drone (anyway just spam it to distract attention and come closer). -- Next think to get Samara and Thane (LMs will be after).
ME3
Well, hmm, have never played ME3 without imported saves from ME1/2. Started such fresh PT only now (finished missions before Sur'Kesh and do not mean DLCs, got Javik only). Liked some things as they are simply new - changes in dialogues, even one new harmless enemy during Eden Prime. 99,99% did not like as no connection to my M1/2 PTs. Suppose just did not get used to not having such connections in dialogues, phrases, during missions as well. It might seem the dialogue is usual but change or skip one-two words and there is already no connection though in general it must be there as some things are obvious enough even for no-imports.

ME1
Infiltrator to get level 60 with some minor choice changes.
At some point it becomes rather boring - killing everything on foot to get EXP is not necessary as I already have lvl 60 or very close to it. But it is fun to use Mako, parking teckniques, infiltrating, sniping, such things. Have finished the Citadel spectre/non-spectre business and on the way to Noveria maybe. Do not know.
ME2
Engineer-PT continuation
Decided not to take BP.
Samara: my usual team Grunt + Jack as IMO they have the best lines there (Grunt for ammo + CB and Jack for SW + PF for interruptions in the end). Impressed Samara.
Thane: Jack + Kasumi for the same reason (Jack for SW + PF and Kasumi for grenades this time as have OL myself). Sort of cheating, but whatever.
LMs: Grunt: Mordin + breeding request.
Mordin: Garrus for one line in ME3 in case I use him in one DLC. That's the only reason.
Samara: well, poor Morinth in this PT. Next time, Morinth, you'll get your chance. Thane: that was interesting. Played ME2 50 times for sure, first helped Thane, but very soon did not even bother about that. Have never failed. This time it was messy as gave an update about the target but at the same time Thane told "too late". Had to replay and give updates before Thane could even say a word otherwise it was too late. Remember Thane at least asked an update once. Strange.
Garrus: Jack is "must be" already with SW. Was fine, nothing difficult.
Went after IFF: Mordin with his usual test on seashells + Garrus only because of his line in the very beginning + CB.
Got Legion.
Really like to take Legion to Tali's LM (actually I don't bother doing Tali's LM at all and Tali is dead in my saves, but this time need all my team alive).
Tali's LM: Legion with Widow. Legion is here only if I play renegade which is all the time (there is one paragon Shepard, that's enough). Paragon phrases if I have Legion are crappy, renegade are fine (some parts are stupid only). But funny Legion gets more attention during Tali' LM and her "treason" is not so important already. Poor Legion, even feel bad for him.
Tali will get promotion in ME3. -- What's left: - Legion's LM - SM - three DLCs - n7 missions.

16th episode is aivable: we did the mission that was supposed to be rescueing the admiral. we found dorn-hazt along the way (but well, when we found him, he already had fatal injuries), and well, we did what we had to do, and helped some people to avecuate (and used a loooot of big turrets, because i love to use heavy turrets) after that, we did hang out with our crews, drank a bit with the dr chakwas, and then, went to help legion to enter the matrix, and mess with the geth conneciton (and learnt some historical stuff regarding the geth along the way). i liked this mission a lot, (never done it before, so, i discovered it in the let's play). and seeing the moment we decided to collaborate with legion in ME2 being recorded in the kinda important stuff was kinda heart-warming. then, we did another mission, on rannoch, and struggled a bit against the giant-space-shrimp, but finally managed to get it yeeted through some orbital strike. legion asked us the permission to use the dead shrimp to send a big udapte to the other geth, so , we accepted, the quarians went nuts with their obsession to get rid of the geths. given how quarians where stubborn and made everything they could to piss me off in this run, and given how the geth where far more willing to cooperate, compromise and to make efforts to be reasonable, i decided to apply the only solution i had at reach to solve the quarian question. was it cruel? yes. but was it the worst option i had? probably not. and also, legion's death was , as always, a sad moment. such a kind little toaster deserved to live. after all of thoose adventures, we had an interview with dianna sanders (propaganda time ) so, we basically told that geth where opressed and that now they seeked revenge against the space-shrimp (i mean, we know the best way to get people to cooperate is to show them that they wanna kill the same target )

Also no Tali ? exactly. as, in ME2 of this run, tali stopped being loyal when i told her to not shoot legion (because, you know, he was scanning her omnitech or something like that). therefore, not being loyal anymore made that she did not survived suicide mission. so, we could say that a small dispute at the level of "meh, someone looked at my phone screen!" caused an entire specie to disapear .

Anyway, the script is really pushing you to help the quarian even if they sucked, so i would have leave them deal with enhanced geth too) As for ME2, i never had problem keeping Tali (or anyone in the team loyal) and i dont remember if i had to be carefull, i m pretty sure i wasnt carefull in my last full playthrough

ME2
Engineer-PT continuation
Legion's LM: Garrus as usual. Garrus for OL which is obvious, Legion for hacking + drone + Widow, and me with OL + drone. Went fast and simple though there is one spot where the team can't get into position for some reason and try to go up. Interesting this time had no problem with that at all (otherwise I or part of my team can die). Actually it was the very first time when my team got into position without running all over the place avoiding the place I want them to be. Anyway, in ME3 there will be more geth during the second favorite plot mission in the game.
Legion and Tali became friends.
SM
Got level 30 in the very end only (full cryo rank 4).
My usual choices if I do not use those teammembers for encounters: Vents: Kasumi or Legion. Fire Team Leader: Garrus in both cases. Bubble: always Jack - like that comment in ME3 as it sounds sort of more serious instead of just "throwing husks left and right", adds responsibility to that character (yeah, Jack is one of my favorites so I like helping her, in different ways).
Big-ass-floating-drone-eye: Samara + Legion - Samara said the last line instead of Legion. Usually I talk to Legion before the SM and that last funny line belongs to him. It happens most of the time, but in that case have no idea why Samara said that (I did not talk to her). Infiltration: Samara + Legion (always try to use Legion as much as possible, during the SM, later in n7 missions or DLCs).
The long walk: Mordin + Samara
Thane with the crew: sent him away to hear Jack's funnny line after the big fight (she is the second in line).
Last encounter: Mordin + Samara (just in case as sometimes even if numbers match, weaker teammembers still can died).
Last encounter was fast, managed to destroy four tubes at once with HP + Mordin's and Samara's powers (was very lucky there to have that).
Happy ending for everyone.
DLC LoftheSB
Fucking Liara was trying to compromise encounters all the time.
First took Mordin + Garrus: OL + Cryo + SG (in short). Fast and simple.
After Liara + Garrus: simple strategy to deal with those crowds is "Singularity + OL + Cryo + shooting". Most of the time Liara used Warp or Stasis instead of Singularity. It happened during last PTs, but rare. Moreover Liara has never used Warp, only Stasis. Anyway because of that died several times if failed to reposition in time, and after decided just to run around using OL+ Cryo + whatever Liara decided to use even with order to use Singularity.
For the Ship Part switched Garrus to Legion: Liara continued using whatever she wanted, Legion was a big help with simple Widow (GSB can be a problem because of his free will and GSB CD). But two drones and constant "range kill/target eliminated" were good enough.
Inside that ship Liara finally started to use brains. Legion needed some more Shep's armor to fix himself I guess.
Final fight was easy: drone spam + SMG (HP) + warp. Did not use other powers because of CD and needed my drone spam strategy. Weapons were enough.
-- Not about combat but: after had some strange talk with Liara. Mention it as just do not remember those words "We talk about others but not about us?"(WTF?!?). As if I was flirting with Liara. Considering I got Liara right before Ilos, yelled at her and did not talk at all in ME1 + my VS is Ash and I actually flirted with Garrus in ME2 - started to worry. Hope my save is not screwed. --
Always have a thought how I miss Legion thus he is part of other n7 missions (most of the time).
So have n7 missions to finish and two DLCs.

Performing in the Armax Arsenal Arena.
Vanguard, Lancer and Wraith, Mirror Match.
Mirror-Soldiers prevent me from hunkering down by using grenades, Mirror-Adepts cover the field in biotic flames which "block" certain areas, and Mirror-Engineers keep spawning drones to stun-lock me.
Mirror-Vanguards are my greatest foe with their Charge-Nova combos, followed by Mirror-Sentinels who just decimate everything and take a whole lot more to put down with their Tech Armor. Mirror-Infiltrators keep flanking, so attempting to hold the line only works for so long.
Still, I am "The One and Only"

Still, I am "The One and Only" Solo Mirror Match? ME2 Engineer-PT (ready to go to ME3) n7 missions: three are left (do not care for them), used different squad, suitable or not as it was simply fun way to play. DLC Overlord: - Miri + Garrus - that was fine as this DLC likes to crash and this is in part why I do not really like it, but in general like those encounters - was lucky not to have crashes - that huge Prime (crashed geth ship) decided to go up because my drone lured him (saw that the very first time). Did not expect and almost died there. DLC Arrival- first part: nothing difficult - object Rho: one pyro, Imir stuck near the door (fine with me) - escape: OL + cryo + SG: that was really fun even with some enemies ignoring cryo or drone Huge desire to use the Revenant, suppose next is Soldier-Revenant - PT. ME2 is great.

It's been ages, but working on ME2. So far recruited Garrus, Mordin, Zaeed and Kasumi. Got Spectre status reinstated (and love having that asshole C-Sec guy threatening to "run me in" get put in his place). Was at the beginning of Kasumi's mission but Shep wouldn't change out of armor and it was annoying me.

IIRC its the autosave right there that's bugged. What worked for me was going back two or three saves earlier in that mission, and play in one session from there.

I've had this happen with Archangel recruitment but never here. With Archangel I even restarted the mission multiple times. Forget how I finally got past it. I'll figure this one out, too, but it's annoying. I think I was really annoyed on Archangel that I had to stop playing for a long time and do a a new PT in ME3. I hate doing that since I lose out on the small choices made in the first two games that have some impact on ME3. Not having my space hamster is a big

So about a year ago I had re-imported an Infiltrator into ME2 so I could play a proper Widow Sniper Infiltrator on Insanity. The previous times I took the Widow were on Veteran difficulty, and a weird tech-focused Infiltrator that did not turn out as good as I had hoped.
Also, most of the gameplay videos on my YouTube channel were for more non-standard builds, so I figured I should have put more standard builds up there. But I decided that I would not bother recording this playthrough like I had originally planned.
So anyway, I officially re-started Jackie Shepard, sniper Infiltrator.
1. Beat Freedom's Progress. Let Veetor go with Tali and took his Omni Tool data. 2. Talked to the Normandy crew. Went to the Normandy crash site to recover dog tags and place a memorial. 3. Did a bunch of small quests on the Citadel (more food, less ass!) and Omega. Recruited Kasumi and Zaeed. Levelled up enough to get Assassination Cloak.
Next up: Recruit Mordin, scan planets.

Killed Hock. Kasumi was happy. Saved refinery workers. Zaeed was not happy and I didn't have enough points invested in paragon or renegade to get his loyalty. I don't know if that means he'll die on the suicide mission.
Found Grunt, opened his tank, he agreed to work with me and...crash! Yep, this is the fourth point in ME2 where the game has crashed: Archangel while looking through the scope, Stolen Memories while trying to confront Hock and again when Kasumi was about to disable his gunship's shields, and now this. This is the most buggy run on ME2 I've ever had. EVER. I'd have probably quit had this sort of thing been going on in early 2016 when I first started playing.

Just out of curiosity, what system are you playing on. If PC, are you using mods? No chance that I can help you at all. I am just curious. I have not heard of the game crashing a lot like that before.

Jackie Shepard (Mantis/Widow Infiltrator): 1. Recruited Mordin. Along the way, killed some Blue Suns mercs, a few Krogan, a whole lot of Vorcha.
2. Scanned planets for resources. Used those resources on some upgrades.
3. Went to recruit Okeer. Killed Blue Suns mercs, Krogan, and some nut job named Jedore running the place. Okeer died, but I picked up a baby Krogan instead. I died a bunch on this mission because I overextended myself in the same few places. I blame my early Infiltrator build since it is built around cloak instead of a more hybrid power-based approach that I prefer. Got lucky near the end when the YMIR mech glitched near the stairs so it would not fire.
4. Woke up the baby Krogan, named it Grunt.
5. Went to rescue Archangel from mercs. Archangel is Garrus. Mercs never stood a chance... except in the basement where I kept dying because I kept being too aggressive. I also had some trouble at the end as well because I was still too aggressive.
Next up: Help Kasumi because I want a third Tech Damage upgrade (and so I can get the Tech Cooldown upgrade), recruit Subject Zero.

Okay, getting somewhere. Recruited Grunt.
Went to the planet of LOKI mechs and mostly killed them before taking off. Got some goodies in terms of resources and money. Had Zaeed and Grunt along.
Jarrahe Station with Mordin and Miranda. VI killed everyone on board. We killed it, which is good because it tried to upload to the Normandy. Got to make sure EDI is still locked down. Worth noting is some of the dead scientists had armbands that read "SR2".
Off to prison to recruit Jack. Tried to hold me for ransom and failed. Jack was set free and wrecked the station. Hates Cerberus but begrudgingly joined. I hope she's good because she acts like a child. Even Grunt is more mature and he just came out of the womb.
Chat with TIM. Don't have my crew together but he's sending me to Horizon. Then he dropped the bait. Kaidan is there. He knew I'd have to go. Luckily, Mordin found a way to counteract the seeker swarms. Just. In. Time.
So. Horizon. Collectors collecting colonists. Husks attacking. No doubt about Reaper connection. Know what's creepy? Colonists in stasis with seeker swarms flying around them. Also some other being takes control is the regular Collectors.
Then there was this thing that was part husk and part something else. Hanar, maybe. Can't really tell. As long as it can die I'll be okay. Those were right but that thing that flew out of the sky was insane! It went down, EDI took control of defenses and sent the Collectors running scared.
What sucked was that it took half of the colonists. We beat them but they still won. I did see Kaidan. He couldn't get past my working with Cerberus. The Council refused to help. What was I supposed to do? Let the Collectors keep on abducting colonies? Pissed me off.
Got a lead on something called Project Overload. A Cerberus project gone wrong. Seemed another VI went nuts and started killing. Gavin Archer was the head of the project. Everyone else was dead. Coincidence? Lots of weirdness. The VI seemed oddly distressed.
Since I'm doing this from my phone, I'll do a separate post. Middle of Overlord now.

Found Grunt, opened his tank, he agreed to work with me and...crash! Yep, this is the fourth point in ME2 where the game has crashed: Archangel while looking through the scope, Stolen Memories while trying to confront Hock and again when Kasumi was about to disable his gunship's shields, and now this. This is the most buggy run on ME2 I've ever had. EVER. I'd have probably quit had this sort of thing been going on in early 2016 when I first started playing. Just out of curiosity, what system are you playing on. If PC, are you using mods? No chance that I can help you at all. I am just curious. I have not heard of the game crashing a lot like that before. System isn't new so it's not that. I did have a mod to allow me to wear an Alliance uniform on the Normandy but that's nothing new. I did an "update" that removed it. It was one of the earlier mods so it doesn't make sense. It was suggested I get rid of the Origin overlay do we'll see how that works out. So far so good.

After Overlord... Does it seem bad that I'm eager to see Gavin Archer suicide in ME3? I brought Jack along and was disappointed she had no dialogue relating to a horrific Cerberus experiment.
Haestrom. TIM had earlier said he wasn't sure about Tali joining but then he handed me get dossier. The planet is basically about to turn into hell when its sun prematurely explodes or wherever. Lots of geth and quarians. Just about all of them died. Actually, all but two and one was Tali.
I brought Tali on board. She understandably distrusted them. Jacob was a dick.

Jalen Shepard, Earthborn, Vanguard
Went to xxx and ran into Blue Suns mercs. It's my policy to kill mercs unless I make a deal with them, like Zaeed. He's just one more reason to kill them but he's useful right now. Found a Prothean artifact sitting right next to one of those pyramids I'd found a few times while tailing Saren. This one was bite size. The artifact did eat they always do and sent me a Prothean message. I have to follow where this takes me.
That could wait until I'm nearby. For now I'll be helping Jacob find his father. It was a shit show. Power grabs, murder, rape and slavery. Should have put that asshole down but jail will do. We'll see how they treat a rapist inside. [Got the bug specific to this area where I'm stuck in the grass. Not even roots or crates.]
Found out the source of all the crazy AIs. Faulty obedience chip. Can you believe that? I set them to self-destruct. I hope that's the end of them.
TIM found a Collector ship. Gave a whole bullshit story but it still gets me what I need. Wish I was finished recruiting.
Miranda and Tali for this. Power and tech seems like a good combination. On a mission like this there's no doubt in my mind that Miranda is trustworthy and unlikely to know about anything TIM might have to his sleeve. Going in now blind than ever in my life.
This ship is the same one that was on Horizon, the one that was luring me there by using Kaidan. Found some pods that were empty. Looking dire for the abducted colonists. Then the piles of dead bodies. All human.
Place looked like a hive of some kind, with honeycomb type structures around. Looks like they were also experimenting on one of their own. Trying to compare humanity to themselves. Then the kicker. They're Protheans, twisted by the Reapers to become mindless slaves. They had their genetic code rewritten. ] Picked up a weapon and crash!]
What's got me more suspicious is the lack of resistance. Absolutely none. We did find hundreds of pods. EDI surmised they died when the ship lost power. Then one more thing. This is the same ship that destroyed the SR1. No way this is a coincidence. This ship may not be as dead as it seems.
In a central area there were enough pods to fill all life in the Terminus Systems - or Earth. Miranda noticed there were no Collectors on board, living or dead. Turned on a control panel to connect the Collector ship to EDI and it began to try to infect the SR2. Along with that came a Collector attack on us. It was a trap! It's a trap! Bright side is that we can now get though the Omega-4 relay. TIMs story was also bullshit. Like I expected. Miranda had a tough time with that one. Means she's that much closer to being someone I can trust.
While fighting our way out we found a third type of Husk. I'm sick and tired of them turning humans into monsters. Got out of the ship just in time before its weapons came online and destroyed the SR2. Now for TIM. Didn't even deny it.
[Ending this post due to length.]
